A Leader Moves Forward: YM/MSgt Rider, C. Retires and Joins the Navy

September 9, 2024 by Andi Schwartz

With a mix of excitement and bittersweet farewells, our unit announces the retirement of YM/MSgt Rider, C. after six years of dedicated service. Throughout his time, he exemplified leadership, mentorship, and the core values of our program. His final weekend with us at the Murray Farm Encampment was a memorable send-off before he embarks on his next journey—joining the Navy. As he leaves for boot camp this week, he leaves behind a powerful message: “There is always something new to learn and always a way to improve yourself and your community.” We wish him great success in his future endeavors—Oorah!
